Macroclumping in WR 136
(2015)
Macroclumping proved to resolve the discordance between different mass-loss rate diagnostics for O-type stars, in particular between Hα and the P v resonance lines. In this paper, we report first results from a corresponding investigation for WR stars. We apply our detailed 3-D Monte Carlo (MC) line formation code to the P v resonance doublet and show, for the Galactic WNL star WR136, that macroclumping is require to bring this line in accordance with the mass-loss rate derived from the emission-line spectrum.
